Epic fantasy in the tradition of Trudi Canavan, Fiona McIntosh and Robert Jordan. Sara Douglass returns us to a world in the grip of prophecy and war …

‘Welcome Axis, into the House of SunSoar and into my heart… Sing well and fly high and may nothing and no-one tear your feet from the path of the Star Dance again.’

Axis has fled to Talon Spike, the home of the Icarii, where he must learn to wield his Enchanter powers to fulfil the Prophecy.

Enchanter is a fun, and trashy Fantasy romp. There are no two bones about it, Axis is a total dick all the way through this book, but it's in keeping with his character and the world that Sara Douglass built. There is action, romance, family drama, and mystery. It has everything that I could want out of a fun read. Faraday is an interesting blend of strong, independent woman and a perpetual victim. Her betrayal is cruel and heartless, but she deals with it with grace. The same goes for Azhure, who on this read-through has become my favourite female character. She exercises the most agency out of all the women in this novel and is, quite frankly, badass (although I do wish she'd spend less of the book pregnant).

Enchanter is not deep. It's paperback, popcorn fantasy all the way through. But, my god it's fun to read!
